What is Pistol Practice?

Pistol Practice is supervised practice time for Valortec students and alumni. It is not a new curriculum, it is dedicated range time to reinforce what you have already learned, with a Valortec instructor on hand to answer questions and keep the line safe.

Practice sessions are a chance to:

  • Maintain the fundamentals from your prior Valortec defensive pistol training
  • Work your own drills, from the draw to controlled pairs to malfunction clearance
  • Shoot in a safe, instructor-supervised environment
  • Build the consistency that only comes from regular, deliberate reps
